Gray, Of Indiana, is here and to an inter

name would go before the state convention

that any aspirations he might have for the
senatorship could wait for expression until
the time was less distant. He thought the
Republican ofIiceholders were being retired
too slowly at the last election in his state to
suit the Democracy and that had something
to do with the election. but matters had i'm
